Preface 


THE  occasion  of  this  little  pamphlet  is  the  reunion  of 
the  women  who  have  received  higher  degrees  from 
Yale  during  the  twenty-six  years  in  which  her  doors  have 
been  open  to  them.  During  that  time  one  hundred  and 
twenty  women  have  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Phil- 
osophy; five,  the  Master  of  Arts;  three,  the  Master  of 
Science;  and  two,  the  Certificate  in  Public  Health — a 
total  of  only  one  hundred  and  thirty.  It  is,  therefore,  the 
more  gratifying  to  find  among  our  Alumnae,  two  college 
presidents,  and  one  acting  college  president,  five  deans, 
and  twenty-five  heads  of  departments  and  full  professors, 
while  twenty-one  are  listed  in  Who's  Who  in  America. 

Of  the  remaining,  many  have  carried  on  their  work  in- 
formally. Several  of  the  twenty-six  who  have  married  are 
continuing  scientific  or  literary  work  with  their  husbands. 
Four  have  married  members  of  the  Yale  faculty;  five, 
Yale  Doctors  of  Philosophy;  one,  a  Yale  Master  of 
Science ;  and  one,  a  Yale  Master  of  Arts. 

The  biographical  notes  which  follow,  give  but  the 
barest  record,  listing,  as  they  do,  publications,  positions 
held,  and  only  occasional  personal  notes.  They  have 
been  prepared  chiefly  from  the  alumnae  record  cards 
made  out  by  the  individuals,  and  hence  lack  something 
of  uniformity.  As  the  purpose  of  these  notes  is  to  give  a 
suHMnary  of  work,  rather  than  detailed  information,  we 
have  hesitated  to  trouble  busy  women  with  a  second  letter 
to  achieve  no  greater  end  than  consistency.  They  cannot 
touch  upon  the  personal  qualities,  and  the  non-profes- 
sional achievements,  which  are,  in  many  cases,  the  richest 
part  of  the  lives  of  our  alumnae.  Even  the  quiet  committee 
work  and  wise  counseling  in  academic  conclave  or  in  the 
home,  which  have  been  part  of  their  contributions  to  their 
several  communities,  can  be  learned  only  incidentally, 
and  not  by  formal  record  cards.

YALE  UNIVERSITY 

But  even  this  bare  record  will  have  its  value  to  those 
who  are  interested  in  following  the  careers  of  a  group  of 
women  with  higher  degrees  during  a  quarter-century 
when  the  obligations  as  well  as  the  privileges  of  higher 
education  have  been  great. 

The  biographies  have  been  arranged  by  Departments, 
and  a  member  of  each  departmental  faculty  has  contrib- 
uted a  foreword. 

While  candidates  for  the  Master  of  Science  degree  and 
for  the  Certificate  in  Public  Health  have  only  this  year 
been  included  in  the  Graduate  School,  we  have  adopted 
as  our  alumnae  in  this  pamphlet  the  five  women  who  have 
already  received  these  degrees  from  the  University.

Introduction 

WILBUR  LUCIUS  CROSS 

THESE  few  pages,  which  have  been  prepared  by  Miss 
Corwin,  tell  about  what  the  Alumnae  of  the  Gradu- 
ate School  have  done  and  are  now  doing,  and  about  the 
new  opportunities  for  women  at  Yale.  It  is  an  interesting 
and  impressive  story. 

Universities,  like  persons,  must  adjust  themselves,  either 
gladly  or  reluctantly,  to  the  needs  of  the  times.  The  un- 
dergraduate Schools  at  Yale  were  founded  expressly  for 
the  education  of  young  men,  just  as  have  since  been 
founded  throughout  the  country  many  excellent  colleges 
for  the  education  of  young  women.  Underlying  all  these 
privately  endowed  institutions  is  the  conviction  that  it  is 
better  for  young  men  and  young  women  to  pursue  studies 
of  the  college  grade  quite  apart.  For  those  who  hold  the 
opposite  view,  the  great  State  Universities  are  available. 
The  case,  however,  is  quite  different  when  we  come  to 
Graduate  and  Professional  Schools  of  the  first  rank, 
which  are  limited  in  number,  and  in  which  mature  stu- 
dents are  either  engaged  in  investigation  or  are  preparing 
themselves  for  definite  careers.  This  distinction  was  early 
recognized  at  Yale.  Indeed,  almost  immediately  after  the 
organization  of  the  Graduate  School,  women  were  ad- 
mitted as  candidates  for  the  Ph.D.  degree;  and  when  the 
M.S.  degree  was  established,  they  wexe  at  once  admitted 
to  this  degree  also.  It  may  seem  that  they  had  to  wait  a 
long  time  before  they  were  allowed  to  take  an  M.A.  de- 
gree ;  but,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  they  had  to  wait  only  four 
or  five  years  after  the  administration  of  this  degree  was 
transferred  from  Yale  College  to  the  Graduate  School; 
and  when  the  new  degrees  were  established  in  Public 
Health,  there  arose  no  question  of  discrimination  on  the 


YALE  UNIVERSITY 

basis  of  sex.  Last  year,  Miss  Margaret  T.  Corwin,  a  grad- 
uate of  Bryn  Mawr,  was  made  Executive  Secretary  of  the 
Graduate  School,  and  this  spring.  Miss  Catherine  Bryce, 
of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  was  appointed  Assistant  Professor 
of  Elementary  Education.  Miss  Bryce  is  the  first  of  her 
sex  to  become  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  Graduate 
School.  It  looks  as  if  women  were  now  coming  into  their 
own  here  as  everywhere  else. 

The  Alumnae  who  read  the  new  Catalogue,  soon  to  be 
published,  will  observe  the  wide  scope  for  study  and  in- 
vestigation now  provided  by  the  Graduate  School.  While 
all  former  work  is  being  maintained,  there  have  been 
added,  within  the  last  few  years,  ten  new  departments  of 
study,  of  which  women,  perhaps,  will  be  most  interested  in 
(1)  the  Fine  Arts:  History  and  Criticism,  (2)  Bacteri- 
ology and  Public  Health,  (3)  Astronomy,  and  (4)  Edu- 
cation. Prospective  students  especially  should  read  the 
new  requirements  for  the  Master's  degree,  which  aim  to 
correlate,  more  closely  than  has  been  the  practice,  gradu- 
ate with  undergraduate  study.  They  will  see  that  it  is  pos- 
sible, if  they  select  the  proper  courses  in  college,  to  obtain 
a  Master's  degree  after  one  year  of  residence  at  Yale. 

The  Alumnae  and  their  friends  are  always  most  wel- 
come visitors  at  Gibbs  Hall,  the  new  offices  of  the  Gradu- 
ate School.

October  lo. 

By  this  date  each  student  has  conferred  with  the  Chair- 
man of  her  Department,  and  settled  upon  a  course  of 
study  for  the  year,  whereupon  she  files  a  record  thereof  at 
the  office.

CLARENCE  WHITTLESEY  MENDELL 

SINCE  the  first  degree  in  Classical  Philology 
granted  by  Yale  to  a  woman  was  conferred,  in 
1895,  thirteen  have  taken  the  Ph.D.,  and  many 
others  have  studied  Greek,  Latin,  and  Sanskrit  for 
a  year  or  more.  The  Department  is  proud  to  welcome 
them  back.  Many  who  would  have  greeted  them  as 
old  friends  are  gone.  Professor  Seymour  no  longer 
presides  in  person  over  the  heights  of  Phelps  Hall, 
but  his  is  still  the  presiding  genius.  The  returning 
alumnae  will  miss  the  genial  friendship,  inspiring 
scholarship,  and  fine-  dignity  of  Peck  and  Wright, 
Perrin  and  Oertel  and  Morris.  These  all  have  served 
Yale  well,  and  the  Classical  Department  is  still  reap- 
ing the  results  of  their  devoted  service. 

"Though  much  is  taken,  much  abides."  The  alum- 
nae will  be  welcomed  by  Professor  Hopkins,  Pro- 
fessor Goodell,  and  Professor  Reynolds.  They  will 
find  two  members,  new  to  many  of  them,  who  will 
go  far  toward  making  up  for  the  losses  which  they 
will  feel :  Professors  Hendrickson  and  Harmon  make 
it  certain  that  the  traditions  of  Whitney  and  Had- 
ley,  of  Packard  and  Kingsley  and  Thacher,  have 
not  and  will  not  be  abandoned. 

Meanwhile  the  alumnae  have  been  adding  gener- 
ous laurels  to  the  Department.  They  come  back  to 
Yale  with  titles  of  Dean  and  Professor  and  Director, 
earned  in  Texas  and  Connecticut,  in  Alabama  and 
Massachusetts.  The  Department  is  justly  proud  of 
them  and  of  their  work,  and  welcomes  them  back, 
now  as  always,  eagerly  and  cordially.

Semitics 

CHARLES  CUTLER  TORREY 

THE  courses  of  study  in  the  Department  of 
Semitic  Languages  and  Literatures  are  de- 
signed primarily  for  those  who  are  fitting  them- 
selves to  be  teachers  in  colleges  and  training  schools 
of  high  grade.  In  all  the  principal  colleges  for 
women,  instruction  is  offered  in  Biblical  Literature 
and  History,  and  the  number  of  professorships  and 
instructorships  in  this  field  is  increasing.  It  is  gener- 
ally recognized  that  a  satisfactory  preparation  for 
teaching  the  Bible  must  include  at  least  some  knowl- 
edge of  Hebrew.  For  those  who  would  master  He- 
brew, acquaintance  with  one  or  more  of  the  cognate 
languages  is  necessary.  Courses  in  Assyrian,  Arabic, 
and  Syriac  are  already  offered  in  some  of  the  col- 
leges for  women,  and  several  of  these  institutions 
possess  collections  of  original  and  unpublished  ma- 
terial (chiefly  Babylonian  and  Assyrian  tablets) 
which  afford  excellent  opportunity  for  historical  re- 
search. 

This  department  provides  valuable  training  for 
those  who  intend  to  teach  Oriental  history,  es- 
pecially the  history  of  Western  Asia,  Egypt,  and 
the  Eastern  Mediterranean  lands;  and  also  for  pro- 
spective teachers  of  the  History  of  Religion.  In 
connection  with  the  courses  of  Missionary  Training 
offered  in  the  Divinity  School,  the  Semitics  Depart- 
ment affords  special  preparation  for  those  who  are 
fitting  themselves  to  undertake  educational  work  in 
the  Near  East.

For  those  who  have  leisure  and  inclination  to  pur- 
sue advanced  studies  for  their  own  sake  the  Semitics 
Department  at  Yale  offers  very  attractive  opportuni- 
ties. The  Semitic  languages  are  highly  interesting  in 
themselves,  and  repay  the  time  spent  upon  them. 
Some  of  the  world's  greatest  books  are  Semitic,  and 
it  is  generally  impossible  to  reproduce  them  ade- 
quately in  translation.  Vast  stores  of  literature,  rep- 
resenting almost  every  branch  of  science  and  belles- 
lettres,  are  open  to  those  who  can  read  Hebrew, 
Arabic,  Assyrian,  and  Syriac.  During  the  last  dec- 
ade a  very  large  and  important  collection  of  Baby- 
lonian and  Assyrian  material,  mostly  unpublished, 
has  been  formed  at  Yale  through  the  activity  and 
expert  knowledge  of  the  Professor  of  Assyriology. 
In  the  combination  of  this  collection  with  the  library 
of  Arabic  manuscripts  owned  by  the  University,  for 
the  most  part  unpublished,  there  are  offered  to  the 
advanced  graduate  student  such  varied  possibilities 
of  research  and  publication  as  could  not  be  found 
elsewhere  in  America.  In  every  part  of  the  Semitic 
field,  moreover,  there  is  work  of  high  importance 
waiting  to  be  done  by  thoroughly  prepared  scholars. 
Women  have  already  shown,  both  in  this  country 
and  abroad,  that  they  can  do  distinguished  work  of 
investigation  in  Semitic  science.

INSTRUCTION  in  the  scientific  study  of  the  Ro- 
mance Languages  and  Literatures,  leading  to  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  has  been  given  at 
Yale  since  1892,  when  it  was  first  organized.  Courses 
have  since  then  been  regularly  offered  in  the  mediae- 
val as  well  as  the  modern  periods  of  the  languages 
and  literatures  of  France,  Provence,  Italy,  and  the 
Spanish  Peninsula.  More  recently,  courses  in  Span- 
ish-American Literature  and  in  methods  of  teaching 
Spanish,  conducted  by  Professor  Luquiens,  have 
been  added.  The  aim  of  the  instruction  has  been  not 
only  to  give  students  a  thorough  knowledge  of  cer- 
tain periods  of  linguistic  and  literary  development, 
but  also  to  train  them  to  do  accurate  scholarly 
work.  Women  enrolled  as  candidates  for  a  degree 
are  admitted  to  such  undergraduate  courses  as  they 
may  need. 

It  is  of  especial  interest  on  this  occasion  to  note 
that  the  very  first  candidate  for  the  Doctor's  degree 
in  Romance  Languages  at  Yale  was  a  woman,  Miss 
Cornelia  Rogers  of  Bridgeport.  Miss  Rogers  began 
her  studies  here  in  1892,  and  proved  to  be  excep- 
tionally well  prepared  for  them.  A  graduate  of 
Wellesley  College,  she  was  not  only  well  versed  in 
French,  but  possessed  a  remarkable  fluency  and  ac- 
curacy in  the  use  of  Spanish.  She  took  especial  inter- 
est in  the  study  of  Old  Spanish,  choosing  the  sub- 
ject of  her  thesis  in  this  field  of  research.

Germanic  Languages 

GUSTAV  GRUENER 

DURING  the  last  ten  years  the  Department  of 
German  has  been  strengthened  by  the  infusion 
of  new  blood  and  enlarged  by  the  introduction  of  new 
courses,  chiefly  along  the  line  of  the  study  of  Goethe. 
The  department  has  had  the  rare  good  fortune  of 
securing  for  the  University  Library  the  unique  Wil- 
liam A.  Speck  Collection  of  Goetheana,  and  of  having 
Mr.  Speck  himself  added  to  its  staff  of  instructors. 
He  not  only  gives  courses  in  Goethe,  but  is  always 
ready  to  put  the  treasures  of  his  collection,  unparal- 
leled in  this  country,  at  the  service  of  our  graduate 
students. 

In  Scandinavian  a  new  start  is  being  made;  the 
plan  being  to  develop  courses  in  this  field  as  fast  as 
there  is  a  call  for  them. 

At  present  the  demand  for  teachers  in  German  is 
greatly  reduced,  but,  to  judge  by  reports  from  many 
sources,  the  study  of  German  seems  to  be  at  its  low- 
est ebb.  Everywhere  signs  of  a  revival  are  manifest, 
and  those  who  enter  upon  the  study  at  the  present 
time  have  a  fair  prospect  of  finding  openings  when 
they  are  ready  to  go  out  and  teach, — openings 
which  will  offer  better  salaries  and  larger  opportuni- 
ties than  for  many  years  past.

ALBERT  STANBURRQUGH  COOK 

AS  one  of  those  who  were  instrumental,  in  the 
-  face  of  considerable  opposition,  in  having 
women  admitted  to  graduate  study  in  Yale,  now 
more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  I  feel  that  the 
University  may  congratulate  itself,  in  general,  on  the 
results  attained.  Beginning  with  1 894,  Yale  has  con- 
ferred the  degree  of  Ph.D.  in  English  upon  forty 
women,  and  that  of  M.A.  upon  two.  Of  the  forty 
Doctors  of  Philosophy,  ten  have  been  married,  and 
three  have  died.  Two  are  college  presidents,  three 
are  or  have  been  deans,  ten  professors,  and  seven 
assistant  or  associate  professors.  Of  the  total  num- 
ber, Vassar  has  one,  for  twenty-three  years  head  of 
the  department;  Smith  has  had  four,  including  two 
full  professors;  and  Wellesley  three,  including  two 
full  professors.  Thirty-one  have  published  their  dis- 
sertations (including  one  now  in  press),  twenty  be- 
ing comprised  in  the  Yale  Studies  in^  English;  the 
subjects  range  from  Old  English  through  Middle 
English,  the  Elizabethan  period,  the  age  of  Milton, 
and  the  eighteenth  century,  down  to  the  ninteenth ; 
with  these  may  be  reckoned  studies  on  the  influence 
exerted  by  the  ancient  classics  upon  English  litera- 
ture. 

Among  important  works  of  scholarship  produced 
by  these  graduates,  may  be  mentioned  Dr.  Lock- 
wood's  Milton  lexicon;  Dr.  Ella  Isabel  Harris'  po- 
etical rendering  of  Seneca's  tragedies;  Dr.  Henry's 
(Reinhardt's)  edition  of  Jonson's  Epicoene;  Dr.  Bu-

land's  (Campbell's)  Representation  of  Time  in  the 
Elizabethan  Drama;  Dr.  Adams'  Old  English  Schol- 
arship in  England  from  1566  to  1800;  and  Dr. 
Goad's  Horace  in  the  English  Literature  of  the 
Eighteenth  Century ;  not  to  speak  of  many  others 
that  are  highly  meritorious.  In  the  belles-lettres,  at- 
tention may  be  called  to  the  writings  of  Dr.  Sher- 
wood {Daphne,  etc.),  Dr.  Woodbridge  (Morris) 
{Jonathan  Papers,  etc.),  and  Dr.  Shackford  (the  in- 
itial volume  of  the  Yale  University  Prize  Poems). 
Dr.  Lovewell  (Dickinson)  has  for  many  years  lec- 
tured acceptably  to  literary  clubs  which  she  has  con- 
ducted, and  Dr.  Myers,  who  has  devoted  herself  to 
the  subject  of  history,  has  done  conspicuous  work  for 
the  education  of  women  at  the  South.  But  further 
details  must  be  sought  in  the  biographies  themselves. 
In  future,  besides  those  who  seek  the  doctorate 
for  special  reasons,  many  women  might  profitably 
take  advantage  of  the  opportunities  afforded  those 
who  wish  to  attain  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts; 
and,  where  that  is  impracticable,  would  be  likely  to 
derive  much  advantage  from  graduate  study  ex- 
tending over  one  or  two  years — supposing  them 
properly  prepared  for  it — without  reference  to  any 
advanced  degree.  I  feel  sure  that  an  increasing  num- 
ber of  women  should  give  consideration  to  such  a 
shorter  course.

History 


CHARLES  McLean  ANDREWS 

THE  facts  regarding  women's  work  in  the  Grad- 
uate Department  of  Yale  University  are  now  a 
matter  of  record  covering  twenty- five  years.  During 
that  time  twelve  women  have  received  the  Doctor's 
degree  in  History.  Of  these,  five  have  printed  their 
dissertations  and  one  more  will  soon  do  the  same. 
One  has  died,  two  have  married  and  retired  from  ac- 
tive interest  in  the  subject.  Eight  have  taught  history 
in  school  or  college,  and  six  are  continuing  to  do  so. 
To  sum  up,  two  of  the  twelve  are  investigators,  four 
more  are  teachers,  and  the  remaining  six  have  with- 
drawn from  all  connection  with  historical  work,  the 
one  who  has  died  having  done  so  some  years  before 
her  death.  This  record  does  not  differ  materially 
from  that  furnished  by  other  institutions  or  from 
that  of  Bryn  Mawr  College,  where  I  taught  grad- 
uate students  for  eighteen  years. 

With  this  evidence  before  us,  it  is  not  unreason- 
able to  conclude  that  the  majority  of  women,  whose 
interest  lies  in  the  historical  field,  should  be  urged 
to  attempt  no  more  than  one  or  two  years  of  grad- 
uate study,  for  the  purpose  of  familiarizing  them- 
selves with  graduate  methods  and  the  handling  of 
historical  materials.  The  M.A.  degree,  for  which 
two  years  are  required,  is  a  sufBcient  qualification 
for  those  who  have  no  other  aim  than  to  teach,  and 
it  should  be  so  recognized  by  colleges,  preparatory 
schools,  and  school  superintendents.  On  the  other 
hand,  those  with  special  aptitude  and  enthusiasm,

who  are  possessed  of  a  fixed  determination  to  make 
investigation  a  part  of  their  life-work  and  have 
proved  themselves  competent  to  do  so,  may  well  be 
encouraged  and  aided  to  go  on  to  the  Doctor's 
degree.

Social  and  Political  Science 

CLIVE  DAY 

THE  records  of  the  Department  of  Social  and 
Political  Science  have  on  their  rolls  the  names 
of  but  three  women  who  have  carried  to  completion 
their  graduate  work.  Certain  considerations  explain 
to  my  mind  the  extraordinarily  small  proportion  of 
women  among  the  students  of  the  department  in  the 
past,  and  give  reason  to  believe  that  the  number  of 
women  students  will  increase  greatly  in  the  future. 

The  subject  has  been  one  which  in  the  world  of 
practical  affairs  used  to  be  restricted,  both  in  public 
and  in  private  life,  almost  altogether  to  men.  The 
spread  of  woman  suffrage  indicates  a  fundamental 
change  in  the  situation  as  regards  public  interests. 
The  vote  for  women  has  become  the  rule.  The  hold- 
ing of  office  by  women  is  no  longer  exceptional.  On 
the  contrary,  there  is  a  growing  recognition  of  the 
importance  of  obtaining  in  some  branches  of  ad- 
ministration, notably  in  education  and  in  the  varied 
activities  of  the  work  for  social  welfare,  contribu- 
tions which  women  are  even  better  qualified  to  make 
than  men. 

In  the  world  of  business  and  the  professions  there 
has  been  a  movement  in  the  same  direction,  which  in 
recent  years  has  been  even  more  marked  in  its  rate 
of  progress.  The  demand  for  trained  experts  has 
been  insistent,  and  sex  has  been  no  bar  to  anyone 
qualified  for  the  work.  Higher  education  has  proved 
its  value  in  practical  affairs,  and  the  woman  who  has 
the  knowledge  guaranteed  by  the  possession  of  the 

45 


YALE  UNIVERSITY 

Doctor's  degree,  whether  in  sociology,  in  economics, 
or  in  politics,  need  no  longer  fear  the  competition 
of  men  graduated  from  the  business  college. 

The  number  of  women  pursuing  advanced  studies 
in  the  department  of  Social  and  Political  Science 
has  increased  greatly  in  the  state  universities  of  the 
West,  and  will  increase  at  Yale  as  the  binding  force 
of  old  traditions  grows  less,  and  the  opportunities 
offered  here  to  women  in  this  field  are  better  ap- 
preciated.

Philosophy  J  Psychology  and 
Education 

CHARLES  MONTAGUE  BAKEWELL 

WOMEN  trained  in  philosophy  and  psycholo- 
gy have  hitherto  had  to  look  almost  exclu- 
sively to  the  women's  colleges  for  professional  em- 
ployment. That  field  is  constantly  widening,  with  the 
growth  and  the  expansion  of  colleges  for  women. 
But  new  opportunities  are  now  opening  up  in  co- 
educational colleges  and  in  the  normal  schools,  which 
are  more  and  more  appointing  women  on  their  fac- 
ulties— a  natural  development  in  educational  policy 
that  is  being  accelerated  by  the  increasing  difficulty 
in  filling  the  vacancies  that  occur  with  competently 
trained  men  of  first-rate  ability.  The  recent  suc- 
cessful application  of  psychology,  especially  in  the 
field  of  mental  tests,  in  the  army,  in  industry,  in  the 
schools,  and  in  social  welfare  work,  has  created  an 
unprecedented  demand  for  trained  psychologists, 
women  as  well  as  men. 

Education  has  this  year  been  made  a  separate 
department  in  the  Graduate  School,  and  Professor 
Frank  E.  Spaulding,  lately  Superintendent  of  Schools 
of  Cleveland,  has  been  called  to  undertake  its  or- 
ganization. The  work  of  teaching  in  the  public 
schools  of  America  is,  and  must  remain,  chiefly  in 
the  hands  of  women.  Yale  now  offers  graduate 
courses  in  school  administration,  in  educational 
measurement  and  statistics,  and  in  the  problem  of 
educationally  exceptional  children.  The  University

Psycho-Clinic  provides  training  in  clinical  and 
school  psychology.  There  is  an  increasing  demand 
for  women  experts  and  leaders  in  these  various 
fields.  Special  facilities  are  also  offered  for  the  study 
of  religious  education.  Miss  Catherine  T.  Bryce  has 
been  appointed  Assistant  Professor  to  take  charge

Mathematics 

ERNEST  WILLIAM  BROWN 

THE  records  of  those  alumnae  who  have  taken 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in  mathe- 
matics give  evidence  of  good  attainments.  Not  only 
have  they  been  able  to  fill  positions  in  various  schools 
and  colleges  as  teachers  of  mathematics,  but  they 
show  that  the  training  has  been  of  value  in  other 
directions  in  which  a  knowledge  of  mathematics  is 
less  essential  than  the  acquirement  of  facility  to  ap- 
ply mathematics  and  general  knowledge  to  different 
lines  of  endeavor.  The  teaching  profession  is  not 
overstocked  with  mathematicians,  either  men  or 
women,  and  many  good  opportunities  are  open  for 
them  at  the  present  time.  With  the  increasing  desire 
for  thorough  knowledge  of  the  application  of  mathe- 
matics, there  is  coming  also  an  increasing  demand  in 
scientific  and  industrial  work  for  those  who  have 
the  requisite  knowledge.

Chemistry 

TREAT  BALDWIN  JOHNSON 

CHEMISTRY,  in  several  of  its  branches,  oflFers 
many  attractive  fields  for  specialization  by 
women,  and  the  Department  of  Chemistry  is  pre- 
pared to  give  assistance  to  women  who  are  properly 
qualified,  and  encourages  such  students  to  register 
in  the  special  advanced  courses  in  Chemistry  leading 
to  the  higher  degrees.  Of  the  various  lines  of  activi- 
ty utilizing  a  knowledge  of  chemistry,  the  teaching 
profession  probably  stands  first  in  importance,  with 
its  many  opportunities  for  future  work.  Our  women's 
colleges  are  today  greatly  in  need  of  teachers  well 
trained  in  the  fundamentals  of  the  natural  sciences. 

In  the  industrial  field  women  are  also  being  ac- 
cepted for  special  lines  of  work  in  which,  hitherto, 
men  only  have  been  sought.  The  enormous  expan- 
sion brought  about  by  the  war  has  opened  up  many 
fields  of  work  which  hitherto  have  never  attracted 
the  attention  of  women.  In  the  development  of  the 
sciences  of  photography,  biochemistry  and  its  re- 
lated branches,  biology,  and  physiological  chemis- 
try, a  knowledge  of  organic  and  physical  chemistry 
is  essential.  In  all  these  fields  well  trained  women 
will  find  opportunities  for  rendering  assistance  in 
the  settlement  of  scientific  and  practical  problems. 
Especially  is  this  true  also  in  the  fields  of  sanitation 
and  public  health  chemistry,  of  which  the  develop- 
ment is  today  but  scarcely  begun. 

Other  fields  of  scientific  activity,  in  which  women 
who  are  well  trained  in  chemistry  will  undoubtedly 

56 


ALUMNAE  GRADUATE  SCHOOL 

be  qualified  to  cooperate_,  are  those  involving  the 
application  of  the  principals  of  analytical  chemistry 
in  such  industries  as  those  dealing  with  textiles,  the 
manufacture  of  pharmaceutical  products  and  drugs, 
and,  finally,  in  the  soap  and  essential  oil  industries, 
where  a  good  knowledge  of  the  chemistry  of  fats, 
oils,  soaps,  and  perfumes  is  essential.  We  do  not  en- 
courage the  training  of  women  for  any  kind  of  in- 
dustrial or  technical  work  in  chemistry  having  to  do 
with  plant  operation  and  production,  or  with  opera- 
tions where  a  knowledge  of  engineering  principles 
is  necessary.

Botany 

ALEXANDER  WILLIAM  EVANS 

IN  the  new  Osborn  Botanical  Laboratory,  which 
has  now  been  in  operation  for  about  six  years,  the 
facilities  are  excellent  for  advanced  work  in  mor- 
phology, ecology,  and  taxonomy.  Through  coopera- 
tion with  the  Connecticut  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station,  equally  good  opportunities  are  available  in 
plant  pathology,  and  it  is  hoped  that  the  important 
field  of  plant  physiology  may  soon  be  adequately 
encouraged  in  the  University.  The  facilities  of  the 
Laboratory  are  well  supplemented  by  the  extensive 
representation  of  botanical  books  in  the  University 
Library,  and  by  the  full  series  of  living  plants  in  the 
grounds  and  greenhouse  of  the  Yale  Botanical  Gar- 
den. 

Among  the  careers  open  to  women  who  have 
carried  on  advanced  work  in  botany,  the  profession 
of  teaching  offers,  perhaps,  the  widest  opportunities 
for  further  development  and  research.  At  the  pres- 
ent time,  well-trained  and  effective  teachers  are  in 
great  demand  in  the  universities,  colleges,  and  high 
schools,  throughout  the  country,  and  this  is  true  in  a 
marked  degree  of  teachers  of  botany  and  other  nat- 
ural history  subjects. 

The  Department  of  Agriculture,  also,  is  in  con- 
stant need  of  women  to  investigate  in  its  labora- 
tories problems  of  economic  interest.  Positions  call- 
ing for  this  type  of  work  are  often  demanding  to 
be  filled,  not  only  in  Washington,  but  in  the  various 
state   agricultural   experiment   stations,   and   afford

opportunities  in  a  useful  and  important  field  to  those 
who  do  not  care  to  become  teachers.

Zoology 


ROSS  GRANVILLE  HARRISON 

IN  zoology  and  anatomy,  women  have  distin- 
guished themselves  by  fine  work,  both  in  teaching 
and  in  research.  The  careers  open  to  them,  however, 
as  to  men,  are  limited  principally  to  academic  lines, 
though  there  are  also  good  opportunities  in  experi- 
ment stations  and  other  research  institutions. 

In  the  Department  of  Zoology  at  Yale,  women 
have  long  been  welcome,  and  they  have  held  posi- 
tions of  Assistant,  of  Research  Fellow,  and  of  Lec- 
turer. While  the  number  specializing  in  this  subject 
here  has  been  small  up  to  the  present,  it  is  clearly 
increasing. 

To  one  who  feels  as  I  do  about  the  place  of  women 
in  the  University,  this  foreword  seems  superfluous. 
They  should  be  admitted  to  all  positions  on  the  same 
terms  as  men,  and  I  look  forward  to  the  day  when,  in 
filling  places,  fitness,  not  sex,  will  be  regarded  as  the 
deciding  factor. 

Katharine  Jeanette  Bush. 

Upon  receiving  her  Doctor's  degree  in  190 1  Miss  Bush  was 
associated  with  the  Peabody  Museum  at  Yale  as  Scientific  As- 
sistant in  the  Department  of  Zoology,  where  she  remained  until 
1913.  P'rom  1910  to  1913  she  was  also  a  private  secretary.  She 
has  assisted  various  professors  in  the  publication  of  scientific 
works.  She  is  a  member  of  the  American  Society  of  Natural- 
ists, the  American  Society  of  Zoologists,  the  Association  of 
Collegiate  Alumnae,  and  the  College  Club  of  Hartford,  Connect-

LAFAYETTE  BENEDICT  MENDEL 

TWENTY-FIVE  years  ago,  the  project  of  ad- 
mitting women  to  candidacy  for  the  higher  de- 
grees at  Yale  was  regarded  by  more  than  one  mem- 
ber of  the  Faculty  as  a  venture  of  questionable 
advisability.  Experience  has  been  a  good  teacher. 
The  subsequent  records  of  the  women  who  have  at- 
tained a  Master's  degree  or  the  Doctorate  from  this 
department  have,  in  general,  been  creditable  to  the 
University.  Most  of  them  have  taken,  and  still  are 
taking,  a  commendable  part  in  teaching  and  investi- 
gation in  American  Educational  institutions,  par- 
ticularly in  the  field  of  the  science  of  nutrition.  They 
have  contributed  to  the  sucessful  development  of  the 
home  economics  movement  in  this  country.  Sucess 
usually  silences  doubt.

Bacteriology  and  Public  Health 

CHARLES-EDWARD  AMORY  WINSLOW 

THIS  department  offers  to  those  desiring  to  spe- 
cialize in  bacteriology,  the  degrees  of  Master  of 
Science  and  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  and  to  those  de- 
siring to  specialize  in  public  health,  the  Certificate 
in  Public  Health  and  the  degrees  of  Doctor  of  Phil- 
osophy and  Doctor  of  Public  Health. 

The  Certificate  and  all  of  the  degrees  except  the 
Doctor  of  Public  Health  are  open  to  college  gradu- 
ates, the  Doctorate  in  Public  Health  requiring  a 
medical  degree  as  a  prerequisite. 

The  opportunity  for  women  in  these  fields  is  a 
wide  one.  On  the  laboratory  side  the  demand  for 
women  bacteriologists  to  serve  in  state  and  city 
health  departments  and  in  private  laboratories  is 
constantly  greater  than  the  supply.  The  teaching 
of  bacteriology  and  sanitary  science  in  women's 
colleges  is  developing  very  rapidly  and  will  furnish 
in  the  future  attractive  positions  to  many  workers 
of  the  right  type.  In  vital  statistics  there  is  also  a 
pressing  need  for  trained  workers.  And  finally,  for 
those  whose  interests  lie  in  the  direction  of  social 
reconstruction,  there  is  an  admirable  opportunity 
for  women  with  a  basic  training  in  sociology  to 
specialize  in  public  health  and  to  utilize  their  abili- 
ties in  various  types  of  public  and  private  health 
organizations,  anti-tuberculosis  societies,  health  cen- 
ters, and  the  like,  as  well  as  in  the  constructive  work 
that  is  being  undertaken  by  many  industrial  firms.

MASTERS  OF  SCIENCE 

Frances  Constance  Stewart,  B.A.  Wellesley 
College  191 7. 

Upon  receiving  the  degree  of  Master  of  Science  in  1917,  Miss 
Stewart  became  Assistant  Bacteriologist  in  the  Michigan  State 
Department  of  Health.  In  August,  19 18,  she  accepted  a  simi- 
lar position  in  the  New  York  State  Department  of  Health, 
which  she  is  still  holding. 

Her  essay,  entitled  "A  Note  on  Petroff's  Cultural  Method  for 
the  Isolation  of  Tubercle  Bacilli  from  Sputum  and  its  Applica- 
tion to  the  Examination  of  Milk,"  was  published  in  19 17,  in  the 
Journal  of  Experimental  Medicine,  Vol.  26. 

Her  present  address  is  395  Madison  Avenue,  Albany,  New 
York. 

Margaret  Mc  Conway  Scoville,  B.A.  Smith  Col- 
lege 191 7. 

Since  receiving  the  degree  of  Master  of  Science  in  1919,  Miss 
Scoville  has  been  Bacteriologist  for  the  Tuberculosis  League  of 
Pittsburgh. 

Her  essay,  entitled  "  Bacterium  Anatum,  Nov.  Spec,  the 
Etiologic  Factor  in  'Keel'  of  Ducklings,"  was  published  in 
collaboration  with  Professor  Leo  F.  Rettger,  in  March,  1920,  in

Dr.  Gage  received  the  first  Certificate  in  Public  Health 
granted  by  Yale  University,  in  1919.  Although  as  wife  of  the 
Dean  of  the  College  of  Yale  in  China,  and  mother  of  three 
children,  her  time  is  well  occupied,  she  volunteers  her  services 
in  the  hospital  at  the   College.

Geology 

CHARLES  SCHUCHERT 

THE  Geological  Department  has  prepared  for 
graduation  with  the  doctor's  degree  three  wom- 
en :  Mignon  Talbot,  Ruth  S.  Harvey  (Mrs.  Robert 
W.  Jones),  and  Gladys  M.  Wrigley.  Two  of  them 
were  trained  for  the  places  they  now  hold,  and  the 
third  had  no  difficulty  in  getting  a  teaching  position. 
As  students,  women  compare  well  with  our  men 
candidates  for  the  higher  degrees. 

As  geology  is  primarily  a  field  science,  naturally 
women  do  not  easily  work  into  it  from  the  stand- 
point of  research  in  the  field.  On  the  other  hand, 
as  teachers  in  women's  colleges  and  in  normal  and 
high  schools,  and  as  laboratory  workers,  drafts- 
men, and  assistants  in  museums,  many  women  will 
find  opportunities  for  geological  work.  In  the  Gov- 
ernment survey  and  in  some  of  the  state  surveys 
they  are  employed  as  paleontologists,  statisticians, 
librarians,  etc.  As  yet,  women  have  not  in  numbers 
gone  into  geology  and  paleontology,  but  they  are 
more  and  more  entering  into  the  study  of  these 
sciences  in  the  universities,  and,  so  far  as  one  can 
see,  although  the  field  is  a  limited  one,  they  are 
all  finding  places  when  they  choose  to  adapt  them- 
selves to  the  work  demanded  of  them. 

DOCTORS  OF  PHILOSOPHY 
Mignon  Talbot,  B.A.  Ohio  State  University  1892. 

Upon  receiving  her  Doctor's  degree  in- 1904,  Miss  Talbot  was

FELLOWSHIPS  AND  SCHOLARSHIPS 
FOR  WOMEN 

IN  view  of  the  rather  general  ignorance  of  the  fact 
that  Yale  offers  fellowships  to  women,  it  is  interesting 
to  note  the  number  of  awards  to  them  in  recent  years.

ALUMNAE  GRADUATE  SCHOOL 

The  Susan  Rhoda  Cutler  Fellowship,  which  was  estab- 
lished in  March,  1912,  from  a  bequest  of  over  eleven 
thousand  dollars  from  Mrs.  Frances  E.  Cutler,  in  memo- 
ry of  her  daughter.  By  the  terms  of  the  gift  the  income  is 
used  as  a  graduate  fellowship  for  women. 

The  Mary  E.  Ives  Fellowship  in  Philosophy,  which 
was  established  in  February,  1908,  by  the  gift  of  ten 
thousand  dollars  from  Mrs.  Mary  E.  Ives,  of  New  Haven. 
The  income  is  to  be  awarded  annually  to  a  woman  gradu- 
ate of  any  college  of  good  standing  who  has  taken  a 
Bachelor's  degree  with  distinction.

COLLEGES  REPRESENTED  BY  TWO  OR

IT  is  interesting  to  parallel  column  the  number  of  wom- 
en graduates  from  other  colleges  who  have  taken  a 
higher  degree  at  Yale,  with  the  number  of  Yale  Doctors 
and  Masters  now  on  the  faculties  of  those  colleges.
